Question

Mains Corporation owns equipment with a cost of $290,000 and accumulated depreciation at December 31, 2014 of $150,000. It is estimated that the machinery will generate future cash flows of $165,000. The machinery has a fair value of $115,000. Mains should recognize a loss on impairment of...(a)$0.(b)$15,000.(c)$25,000.(d)$35,000.

Answer 1

Answer:

(a)$0

Explanation:

Since the book value is less than the generated future cash flows so there would not be any loss on impairment of the asset

The book value is computed below

= Owns value - accumulated depreciation

= $290,000 - $150,000

= $140,000

The book value is $140,000 and the generated cash flows are $165,000. So, no value would be recognized
